And fuck me, they've got some crackers: from the utterly bizarre (the British Transport Police saying that football fans might behave better on trains because he'd won - WTF?) to the genuinely enraging (Michael Gove claiming kinship between the NuTories and Obama, for fuck's fucking sake).Robin Carmodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825645880870474801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-81033528802013970502008-11-08T04:00:00.000+00:002008-11-08T04:00:00.000+00:00Almost: Southwold to Ipswich is the equivalent of ...Almost: Southwold to Ipswich is the equivalent of Whitstable to Dartford. Lowestoft is more of a Margate or Herne Bay. But yes, same principle. <BR/><BR/>If the Eye does start Obamaballs, it will have plenty of material.
